Possible Causes

Improperly balanced supply dampers, Blocked or undersized return ducts in certain areas, Dirty filter reducing overall airflow, Blower speed set incorrectly on IFC

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Ensure the furnace filter is clean and correctly installed.
  • Check that all supply registers are open; partially close registers in overheated rooms to push more air to colder rooms.
  • Verify that return grilles are not blocked by furniture or drapes.
  • If your Westinghouse IFC allows blower speed adjustment via dip switches or jumpers, consult the installation manual to confirm correct heating speed tap is selected.
  • For persistent imbalance, have a contractor evaluate duct design and consider zoning or duct modifications.
